About AWT Housing Scheme, Lahore
AWT Housing Scheme is a residential project of the Army Welfare Trust in Lahore, developed in Phase 1 and Phase 2. It offers planned blocks, parks and a security-focused community at prices below the DHA phases.
Phase 1 is more settled, while Phase 2 has seen slower progress on map approvals at times, so checking the current status of your block before design is especially important here.
Building rules and approval status change over time. ACCO checks the current rules and the plot’s documents before the first sketch.
What Matters When Building in AWT Housing Scheme
1. Confirm map approval status
Map approval in parts of AWT Phase 2 has historically taken time. We check the current position for your block before you pay for design.
2. Design for long-term value
Many AWT buyers are service families planning for retirement. We design flexible layouts that can include a ground-floor bedroom for elders.
3. Efficient 10 Marla homes
AWT’s 10 Marla plots suit a five-bedroom double-storey home with a two-car porch and a small lawn.
4. Quality you can inspect
Owners often live elsewhere while building. We provide weekly photo and video reports and stage inspections.

Map Approval in AWT Housing Scheme
House plans in AWT Housing Scheme are approved by the scheme’s own management. ACCO prepares the submission drawings and follows up, after confirming that map approval is open for your block.
ACCO prepares the full submission set, follows up on objections and keeps the site drawings matched to the approved plan, so the completion certificate is not held up later. Before design starts, confirm plot possession, cleared dues, exact block and measured site dimensions.
